What personal data we collect and why we collect it

This site has two portions, the first being the informational WordPress side, the other being the forum phpBB side. What follows pertains to the former:

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

Analytics

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

The following pertains to the Forum portion of our site.

Sepia Rainbow® and Pokemon-Mini.net Forum Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit pokemon-mini.net/forum (the “Site”).

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect certain information about your device, depending on what actions you take while visiting (such as logging into the forum) including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device which pertain solely to this site; we only use cookies so you can log into your account(s) if you have any here. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

• “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
• “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps, which is used for diagnosing technical issues if you should encounter any, and performing routine server maintenance.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We use the Device Information that we collect generally to facilitate the logging-in of users, primarily on our forum, but also for administrators who update the site pages. Additionally, we use this Device Information to:
Communicate with you; should you sign up for updates to particular threads on the forum, the site will automatically send you notifications according to how you’ve set it to do so (immediate, weekly digest, etc.), the site mus also be able to send you signup confirmation links via email, as well as password recovery links if you ever forget your password. Additionally, users/administrators may reach out to you directly if you’ve set your account to allow for users, whereas administrators will need to be able to communicate for technical reasons, such as troubleshooting or alerting you of critical issues that may need your attention (an example being: accounts with weak passwords being broken into and used to spam; in such an event we will address the concern and send you a heads up).
